Hi there!
We are back with Infinite Dust 0.2.3!

As explained in our last devlog, the main changes concern:

• a massive overhaul of the item catalog (from 217 to 147 items) and a simplification of the crafting system which was too demanding in the quantity of components to be assembled.

• The ore distribution has been revised in order to have raw material much more accessible to the surface. (we also go from 11 to 7 types of collectable minerals)

• Fixed major bugs in the backup (ex: parts of the station and the beacon that disappear after loading a backup)

• Addition of new building parts and placement, bug fixes and optimization of building system

• Fix problem of far clip plane on the camera

• Fixed major bugs in the inventory

• Added features “Equip”, “Use”, “Upgrade”, “Remove”, “Destroy”, “Throw” in the inventory
